Design, simulation and robotic assembly of reversible timber structures

Wood is more and seen as a sustainable solution to offset carbon emissions from constructions. In response in parallel this, the research robotic timber construction evolving rapidly, pushed by Industry 4.0 technologies integration of digital physical assets. This paper presents an approach for design assembly automation layered structures, with use flexible cell based on collaborative robots. Advanced procedures non-standard structures are here established integrated. The process enhanced (1) feedback systems location force signals, (2) introduction robot setup automatic screwing, (3) human-collaboration provide immediate assistance case signals do not match defined conditions. discusses development Cyber-Physical System govern entire process, including reflections integrated design, modelling simulation process.
